the conservative chief justice of the united states today single-handedly saved the most important domestic achievement of a liberal president, john roberts sided with the four liberal justices voting five to four to uphold nearly all of president obama'sealthcare law, and leaving his conservative colleagues to join the dissenting opinion. at the heart of the law is what is called the individual mandate, it requires americans to obtain health insurance or pay a penalty. that was found constitutional, other parts of the law also stand. insurance companies cannot disqualify people who have a preexisting illness, they can't raise rates on the chronically sick and children can remain on their parent's plans until the age of 26. there was one setback for the law, the court said that congress cannot force the states to expand medicaid to cover more of the poor. we have a team of correspondents covering the story, our chief legal correspondent jan crawford is at the supreme court and, jan, it was a complicated decision today, the majority rejected the president's main argument, but still found a w
